Picked up a 4870 from MB tody to see if there was a improvement. In 3d mark I almost reached 500 pts higher than the 8800. The driver install is a little sketchy but that may be human error. I'm mentioning it just for the fact I stumbled upon it. Thats the news so far. .. Ill be trying a few more games tongiht to calc the diffy's and avg's. If you have a 8800 and are thinking of a 4870 ATM. I would suggest no so far. But the testing continues... |

464 point 3d mark increase from 8800 gts oc. Frames in Grid @ same settings @ 1900x12 seem about the same. WOW is the same, Crysis is about a 3fps improvement. Great card! I like it alot. It runs very hot (71C idle). Great alternative and not a bad buy. Would wait for the X2 of it!

i know with my 4850 i had to modify the .xml profile to set my fan speed up. idle temps were 80c idle, and 81c load, now its running at around 48-50 idle and not sure about load. mind you i have the fan set @ 48& so its barely noticable... |
